My Horse Blog

I know what you mean about being busy, it's hard to find the time to blog, when I do have spare time I want to do nothing because I am busy all the time, I do love hearing how my friends are doing though, Lilly will miss Darby, God Speed, Jack is improving steadily, he is foraging alot more which is what he needed to get his strength back, the weather here has been out of this world nice, it's kinda scary hhahahaa, yesterday we pushed open an old logging road at the bottom of the orchard, looking forward to checking it out today with Lilly, yesterday we scared out some deer so I'll have to be very observant as she may get a little jumpy being in an new area of the orchard. love Suz and lilly

it was sunny after work and less windy-wind from the north & east rather then the south. Filled water tubs, turned out the boys to graze and put their feed up that I got on the way home. Just a nice evening before this silly weather hits us today and the next few days! Have a wonderful Sunday and here is a hug & a vote ♡ spring is just around the corner. I saw bloomed daffodil flowers yesterday in town!!!!

I understand. I know I haven't been as much as I used to. Will miss you! Left a vote! It has been cold, warm, and currently cold in the morning and warm in afternoon. Rose and I are doing well in dressage so far.

Hi Lindsay and Darby. Sad you're deleting Darby's page. I do understand. I get so busy. I don't have the time and /or the energy to ride. You take care of you and Darby. Hope to be able to see you on, again. Love, hugs and a vote.

Hi Lindsay & Darby, sorry to hear you won't be on HC anymore, but I totally understand. If you have Facebook, feel free to look me up :) Danya Carey, Thousand Oaks, CA. All the best to you! XOXO Danya and Koot

PLEASE READI have some bad news, i am deleting Darby's page. I am too busy to main tane this page. Our internet is only good before 8 in the morning and i feel like i should get on a lot more than i do. It's hard to vote on a phone all the tim aswell, and getting up early(: i hope everyone understands. I am just to busy to get on. Love to everybody, best wishes and God bless you all.

Jack continues to get a little better ever day, Lilly got a little ruff with him today when he wanted to share her food and she knocked him over, so I removed him from the pasture till miss piggy finished, this weeks weather has been amazing, I've got alot of work done on the orchard and alot of Lilly time, today I desensitized her to the quad, she had been getting a little jumpy around it so I had my son bring it to the arena and we chased it, she did really good, then we practiced side passing and the sending exercise. love Suz and Lilly

I've had it with WINTER...It is still only -24 this morning, but no wind, thank God. I did get them out for a couple of hours yesterday when the wind shifted to the North. The barn is sheltered on the North, the sun was lovely and they need to be out. We are celebrating Family Day here in Ontario, love my long weekends, we left a vote, Love Donna Lee

it was 58* here Sunny and blue sky can't believe we had this weather in Feb.went down to the big city and we finally found a vehicle, Subauru Outback , we usually have snow for winters and Subaru's go good n the snow and get good gas mileage , Jack is doing better it will be his first night back with Lilly and Daniel, hope tonight goes well, Lilly is starting to shed with this warm weather hope we don't get a cold snap.love Suz and Lilly

had a lovely ride on buttercup this morning. it was near 80 so she got quite sweaty even though we had a relaxing ride, not a hard work out. it's only going to be 60's tomorrow. should be perfect for riding! getting ready for my smoochie's birthday Saturday! he's my Valentine!

I got some voting done Monday. I didn't get to everyone, because I'm guessing HC went down. I tried for hours to get back on. Hoping to be able to leave everyone a vote with lots of love always. Yay! Voted.

For some reason since Monday everytime I tried to get on HC I'd get server not found, but it's working for me now, ya, Took a wonderful ride today, Lilly was great, before we rode I cleaned her all up, then realized I forgot my phone, I said I'll be right back, and what did she do, went and rolled so I had to clean her again before saddling , little stinker, Spent a couple hours cleaning all my tack, there is no way it is staying out in the barn through the next winter, too much moisture, it was a mess, it's either coming in the house or I am building a little insulated shed like thing for my stuff,have a wonderful week, love Suz and Lilly

Hi, left a vote. Had a thunderstorm pass over last night, poor Zip, was so scared! Amber was just fine. It wasn't bad where she is at. But here, that thunder was right on top of us and very loud! I think I may need a boat soon if this rain doesn't stop!

♡ Oh Sunday was absolutely beautiful, the temp was 73 and little to no winds. I did get out of work later then I excepted so I just let the boys out to graze and enjoy the weather. They got carrots with their evening feeding time and they loved that. I want to let everyone know that the COA page (calendar of Agendas) has come to an end. Maria (Dakota’s mom) and I have agreed that there is not enough support to continue this page. I suggest for anyone that wants pictures or any history from the page to visit and copy and paste what you want. She will be turning in the points and deleting the page soon. I will still be on HC with my horses so anyone that runs for HOTM & HOTD I will support of course as a regular member as always. Have a wonderful Monday!!!

Cisco says thank you for the compliment. Well... Planned on riding, meant to ride... Went out about 1, worked with Nugget a bit, then went to halter Cisco. He was literally dripping wet with sweat. Put the riding plans away and hosed him off - he even ducked his head into the water which he usually doesn't like. Took over 2 hrs for him to dry. Toyed with the idea of trace clipping, but colder weather will be back starting Thurs, so will just get out earlier tomorrow to work him.

it was 68 yesterday and of course the winds were horrible so you really couldn't do much with the horses but watch them graze~I love that anyway. I mowed a few high spots in the yard, I have a few more to do after work today but hoping the winds aren't to bad so maybe I can slip a ride in! Have a wonderful Sunday...

IS IT SPRING YET???I love that profile pic of Sterly, it is from years ago, she has always had such a great winter coat, she is a winter kind of girl, not so much me...I keep her in her stall overnight now, but back in the "old days" she stayed out 24/7 and loved it, she of course had shelter if she chose, but most often she chose not to be inside, I love that old girl, if all horses were like her, everyone would have a horse, have a great day, we left a vote, Love Donna Lee

♥ I have had a relaxing nice 7 days off work. I did have time to groom, play, watch and ride the horses. I also enjoyed my other animals as well. I seemed to have finished a lot that I had planned but rested as much as possible. I have also made a to do list for myself for the warmer days like, clean feed buckets, clean and oil saddles and bridles, wash saddle pads, clean out tack room (I started that on my vacation) and at some point (lol) I want to clean the panels between the stalls and paint-not sure if that will ever happen but I put it on my list. Good to be back at a computer instead of using my phone. Have a wonderful weekend <)__~

ANOTHER STORM....I can't believe I am hoping that it stays cold...but the forecast is for ice pellets and freezing rain, if it stays cold it will be snow, I guess if I have to pick, I'd take the stupid snow, actually I'd take spring and soon. I'm drying some more cabbage for my boy today, I still have not found a dehydrator, but my friend at work is good about loaning hers, I just hate to borrow stuff. Have a great weekend, talk soon, we left a vote, Love Donna Lee PS did you get my message about the magazine cover?

HI, left a vote. Zip got the day off, I had way to many errands to run today. Tasha, she is who I bought Zip from, will be breaking ZIP for me when she has recovered from her torn ACL> She had surgery on it in Dec., she is able to ride now, so maybe another month or so. I have never broke a horse before, and Tasha does it all the time, so makes sense to have her do it. Amber is doing good, she has had some time off, but next week, she goes back to work!

Had a nice ride on Sadie, Thursday. She was so good for me. She walked up to the post for me to saddle her, took the bit without a fuss and even let me pick her hooves without a fight, except for one of the back ones. I had to work with her on that one. I mounted, and she started walking without a fuss. She seemed to look forward to giving me a ride. Got to get her hooves done before we ride, again. My friend, Kristina, rode, too. Sadie wasn't too thrilled about it. She tested her. She didn't want to give her a ride and kept stopping. Love to each of you and a vote.

HI, left a vote. Worked on all the exercises we learned at the clinic, he is doing great and showing improvement every time we work. We then played a bit. I blew bubbles at him! LOL!!! He stood there watching those bubbles, he would snort at them, so very funny!

HAVE I EVER MENTIONED, I HATE WINTER????I could not get to work on Monday, terrible blowing snow, I couldn't get out of the driveway, David tried to get up to the road, if it is really bad he will drive me to work. When he got back he said this is a bad idea, you better saty home, we had 77 call ins at work that day....Today we are all off, they are doing some maintenance in the plant, this will be a very small pay cheque, oh well, we will manage. Have a great day, we left a vote, Love Donna Lee

HI, left a vote. I tried last week to get Zip to jump over a small log and he would not do it. Well today, I used the sending exercise that we learned at the clinic, and he jumped right over it! So proud of my Zip!
